 About the Course
The
Leelanau Club at Bahle Farms features spectacular views
of Suttons Bay and Lake Michigan. While
varied terrain with hills, woodlands, water, and strategically
placed bunkers offer a memorable round of golf. The
entry way and two holes (#13 and #16) are situated among
working cherry orchards, just ripe for the picking in
July while golfers plan their strategy to the green.
Golfers of all abilities will enjoy this scenic beauty course.
A par of 71, there's a distance for every ability, the
Black (back) tees at 6,651 yards offers challenge to
the most competitive player while three other tee boxes
offer a bit easier round.
Layout Philosophy
The
Leelanau Club at Bahle Farms is destined to become a
golf course people will want to play again and again.
Small greens, tree-lined fairways, and strategically
placed bunkers will put a premium on shot making rather
than brute strength. Yet, there are a few holes, like
#13, a 440 yard par 4, which will require distance as
well as direction.
Together
with the Bahle family, who offer a strong heritage and
concern for the land in Leelanau County, turf specialist
Steve White, architect Gary Pulsipher, and PGA pro Chuck
Olson have created a golf course sure to please the
most discriminating golfer.
The
design makes insightful use of the tremendous natural
variety of the land. Players will negotiate a myriad
of terrain types including ridges, ravines, gullies,
orchards, and highland meadows.
Gary
Pulsipher said," There's no doubt that this is
a dramatic golf course. People will really enjoy it."
